Matt Olson had three hits including a home run and the visiting Atlanta Braves rallied from a 3-0 deficit for a 9-4 win against the Washington Nationals on Wednesday to complete a four-game sweep.
Olson had three homers and nine RBIs in the series as Atlanta outscored Washington 31-10.

Atlanta starter Hurston Waldrep (5-1) gave up three runs on five hits over five innings. He struck out eight without a walk.

Atlanta immediately answered. With one out in the sixth, Acuna singled and then scored on Drake Baldwin’s double. Clayton Beeter (0-3) replaced Lord and walked Ozzie Albies and Ha-Seong Kim to load the bases. Michael Harris II struck out, but Ozuna singled to right, scoring Baldwin and Albies to tie it.
